The Learning Community after school programming

Just had our last day with our after school gardening crew at the Learning Community. We are proud of our gardeners. 


It was tough once the weather made us hold class inside but kept it interesting.
We made macrame plant hangers with simple knots, twine, beads, small pots, and some seeds
made hydroponic planters with some stones, aluminum container, and all sorts of bulbs
painted a garden sign,
made salad, potatoes, and the kids made their own honey mustard dressing which was a big hit
We also showed clips of Microcosmos, you can find the whole movie on YouTube.
It follows the life in a field with a microscopic lens, the first film of its kind.
It only contains music and audio from the field so it is a great piece to turn on at the end of class or during another activity.


More growing ahead in the LC Garden this Spring and Summer! Good times.
